'Global Sea Level Rise Map' that shows where the sea level rises due to global warming

'Global warming, ' in which the average temperature of the earth rises over the long term due to greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, raises the danger of sea level rising due to melting of Antarctic ice and expansion of seawater. .. If the sea level rises due to global warming, where and how much it will be submerged and how the terrain will change can be seen on the map of the submerged area according to the level of sea level rise ' Global Sea Level Rise Map '. It is obvious if you use.

Global Sea Level Rise Map is a web application based on Google Maps, and its usage is the same as Google Maps except that there is a pull-down menu at the top left of the screen to change the sea level rise value.

The sea level rise value can be selected from '+ 1m' to '+ 60m'.

Of course, it is also possible to move the map and enlarge / reduce it. Japan looks like this when the water level rises 7m. It looks like it hasn't changed that much, but ...

The Kanto region looks like this. The inland sea is intricate in Chiba prefecture, and the sea is eroding from the bay of Tokyo to Saitama prefecture.

Let's expand Tokyo. At '+ 3m', Adachi Ward and the Gulf area are about to disappear.

'+ 5m'

At '+ 9m', you can see that Adachi-ku, Koto-ku, Katsushika-ku in Tokyo, Urayasu-shi, Ichikawa-shi in Chiba prefecture, Kawaguchi-shi, Soka-shi, Yashio-shi, Misato-shi in Saitama prefecture will be in a catastrophic situation. ..

In Tuvalu , an island country where the rise in sea level is a matter of life and death, even if it is '+ 0m', the situation is critical ...

At '+ 5m', it becomes a light in front of the wind ...

It seems that it will almost disappear at '+ 13m'.

If the sea level rises by 13m, all three major metropolitan areas centered on Osaka, Nagoya, and Tokyo are likely to be devastated.

In addition, Shanghai, China also sank at '+ 13m'.

Most of the land is lost in the Netherlands and Denmark, which are located along the coast of Europe.

At '+ 13m', the Caspian Sea, the world's largest lake, is about twice as large.

If you zoom in on the map, it seems that the Caspian Sea is connected to the Black Sea. Apparently it will be the inland sea of Central Asia instead of the largest lake in the world.
